Using Files and Directories with Command Lines
The following gives you some basic information on using the HP-UX directory
system. If you need more information on using les, directories, and command
lines, see Using HP-UX .
Creating Directories
The mkdir (make directory) command creates a new directory
. After you
create a directory,you can move les into it, and you can even create more
directories underneath it. For example, to create a sub-directory in y
our
currentworking directory named projects ,type:
$ mkdir projects
Toverify that it worked, you can use either the ls or lsf command. Both
commands display the new directory, but lsf appends a slash ( / ) to the end of
directory names to dierentiate them from le names. For example:
$ls List les, directories in your current working directory.
myfile projects It worked!
$ lsf
myfile projects/ The lsf command appends a slash to directory names.
Figure 4-2 shows the resulting directory structure.
Figure 4-2. Creating the \projects" Directory
The general form of the mkdir command is as follows:
mkdir new dir path
where new dir path is the path name of the directory you want to create.
